Has the first power-up the Disk Station with 4 x 3TB HDDs really something lasted (overnight), but that's no different from other devices.
The user interface via a browser is very beginner-friendly and beautifully designed logically thought out. I came to a Netgear NAS clear on this Synology station without any problems. At the same time even came out a new update (firmware upgrade), which I was able to install without problems.
I use a connected via wireless IP Cam on without problems Surveillance Station, also via smartphone while on the move. The photo and video station are also super. PRIMARILY I use even the DLNA service, which allows me to stream on devices such. B. Smart TV.
What I very laudable and great find here at the station is that you find yourself very well protected. To the support from Synology is kind of fix, when it comes to fix a bug. The update regularly, and it is described in detail what that update fixes. I think it's just great when you installed something and then also knows exactly what to install.
The device is relatively expensive, but still in the middle of the NAS Station. The machine is worth every penny, believe me, even though you should not hesitate. Does not access cheaper equipment, which have many disadvantages in detail later.
Advantage:
- Very good support (updates, etc.)
- Very fast response times, thanks to faster CPU + RAM
- Very quiet machine
- 4 HDDs Attaches up to 16 TeraByte !!!
- Installation Wizard is very good and also in German
- Tool-free HDD installation
Currently I use 4 hard drives á 3TB in RAID array with reliability and have an availability of 9 TB. Without reliability and 12TB would be possible, but what is too risky to me. Later I will then change to 4 x 4 TB and increase capacity. Nevertheless, I would like to especially point out that the device is not a backup replacement. One should nevertheless keep its important data to another storage medium in a safe place.
You can even share information with friends and generate a scannable QR code. About this then created users can download data from your DiskStation problem, depending on how you set what.
I've been using the device for about 1/2 year and am happy. A top product !!!
